Chapter Seventeen

The stale smell of cigarettes lingered in the air. Pedro had the means to book himself into a much fancier and cleaner hotel than the dump he was staying at, but he wanted to keep a low profile. No one took notice of anyone when staying in a place like this. Most of the “guests” were either hookers servicing their clients or dealers making deals.

The owners always turned a blind eye to what was going on. All they wanted was their money. They knew what was best for them—which was why this was perfect for him.

He paced around the room, annoyed and angry that he hadn’t been able to get close to the Conway bitch at all that day and now time had run out. Javier was going to be in LA in two hours, and he had to go pick the asshole up from the airport.

Or did he?

“What if I didn’t pick him up?” he mused out loud. “What if I made the asshole make his own arrangements? He can catch a fucking cab or drive share for all I care.”

Javier wasn’t going to be staying at this hotel, Pedro knew that for sure. Javier would be staying in one that smelled nicer, where the rooms were cleaned every day and the guests were actual guests on vacation or businessmen. No way would Javier lower himself to stay in this dump—which, as far as Pedro was concerned—was a huge mistake. The guy could be caught on camera and identified.

Although maybe that would be a good thing. An idea formed in Pedro’s head, and a smile slowly stretched his lips.

Yes, that’s what he could do. It made perfect sense now. Mr. Rook may think that sending Javier was going to be a good move, but in fact, Pedro was going to make sure that Javier didn’t make it back to Mr. Rook’s side. Then he would become the man Mr. Rook would rely on.

He would be the one everyone would be afraid of.
